Re: Terminal Colour Scheme Screenshots

Okay, so how do I set the values of BLUE,CYAN,RED, etc. in tty console? It would be awesome to get to use some of these themes without needing X..

Note: I'm using uvesafb framebuffer, if that makes any difference. As I understand it, regardless framebuffers bit depth, 8 or 16 colors is all you can expect from tty. Well, with so few, it would be really awesome to have them be decent looking, right?

@jceasless: You can set the linux console colors with escape sequences like this:

if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ]; then
echo -en "\e]P00f0f0f"
...
fi

Where \e]P marks the beginning of the escape sequence, 0 is the color number (0-9 and A-F for your 16 colors), and the last six characters are the rgb values. Put it in your bashrc file. I got this information from phrak's blog, btw. Have never found it anywhere else, nor figured out where he could have possibly learned it from...

Thank fflarex! You are quite right that that info is far from widespread. Maybe I'll start a thread with [SOLVED] in the title so perhaps google will pick up the good news for the next lost soul

EDIT: I'm going to wait to do that until it I've got it up, running, and documented.

Re: Terminal Colour Scheme Screenshots

Hi I'm looking for the so called Thayer's color scheme that should be based on Dante's Vim color scheme.It seems I can't find it anywhere...Just to let you understand what I'm talking about, it should be the one in this screenshot:

Unfortunately, Thayer's current .Xdefaults does not contain that color scheme, but a "tangoesque" color scheme, pretty different.Yours looks nice, I'll try it! Anyone knows where to find the original one?
